< Hebrews 4 >

1 Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who heard.
For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"
For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
5 and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."
And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief:
7 he again appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."
(Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.)
11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
For the word of God [is] living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as [we are], [yet] without sin.
16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
